+## Agenda

+## Announcements
+
+*Extracted from **benchmarking-agenda** labelled issues and pull requests from the **nodejs org** prior to the meeting.
+
+### nodejs/benchmarking
+
+* Initial summary of benchmarking survey results [#189](https://github.com/nodejs/benchmarking/issues/189)
+  * @dshaw attending to represent the user feedback team, with summary of results from
+    the benchmarking WG survey.
+  * Tracking issue is here https://github.com/nodejs/user-feedback/issues/22.
+  * 273 responses so far.
+  * Results will be finalized on Wednesday.
+  * Show aggressive adoption of 8.X !
+  * 50% of those not on 8.X are planning to upgrade soon.
+  * Walked through summary of results.
+
+* Add Ghost.js workload to the benchmarking [#159](https://github.com/nodejs/benchmarking/issues/159)
+  * sathvik has been working on creating scripts, working in his own branch
+  * uses docker, need to figure out how to start/stop docker before/after script without
+    giving too much privilege to the iojs user.
+  * Ghost now uses yarn, so we need to download yarn binary and added to path
+  * Now with existing scripts all starts in background.  Want to add a timeout. But when
+    timeout expires all the other scripts in background still keeps running.  Sathvik will look
+    at adding logic that gets PIDs and kills as part of the timeout.
+  * Michael will help setup new job for testing.
+  * Uttam, 2 versions, newer one has much better performance, issue was that latest
+    only supports Node.js 6.X and later.  Michael probably ok to just enable for 6.X and
+    later. Gareth will go back and remind himself of what the issue was, but agrees most
+    likely new version is way to go.   Latest version uses more ES6 features.
+
+* Survey questions for end users to decide what to benchmark [#136](https://github.com/nodejs/benchmarking/issues/136)
+  * covered under discussion of [#189](https://github.com/nodejs/benchmarking/issues/189).
+
+* Other business
+  * people working on Node.js and modules, write ideomatic code and complain about
+    performance, as opposed ugly strange code that is performant on current version of the
+    engine.
+* Expect blog post to come out soon (https://twitter.com/nodejs/status/958045027325956097),
+   PR's to node to address crankshaft code in core.
